hamming.distance            package:e1071            R Documentation
Hamming Distances of Vectors
Description:
     If both 'x' and 'y' are vectors, 'hamming.distance' returns the
     Hamming distance (number of different bytes) between this two
     vectors. If 'x' is a matrix, the Hamming distances between the
     rows of 'x' are computed and 'y' is ignored.
Usage:
      hamming.distance(x, y)
Arguments:
       x: a vector or matrix.
       y: an optional vector.
Examples:
     x <- c(1, 0, 0)
     y <- c(1, 0, 1)
     hamming.distance(x, y)
     z <- rbind(x,y)
     rownames(z) <- c("Fred", "Tom")
     hamming.distance(z)
